The Good Fight: The Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War

An American Communist militia fights alongside the Spanish Republicans in the 1936-1939 Civil War.

The documentary tells the story of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, featuring interviews with survivors over 50 years later, as they recall their experiences during the Spanish Civil War. The film sets the stage by exploring the rise of Fascism, before delving into the events of 1936, when Spain's military revolted against its elected government, and the international community refused to intervene. In response, volunteers secretly entered Spain to fight alongside the Republicans, facing numerous challenges, including limited training, harsh living conditions, and devastating casualties.
